Embodiment Construction

[0027] The invention will now be described based on the preferred embodiments, which do not intend to limit the scope of the present invention, but exemplify the invention. All of the features and the combinations thereof described in the embodiment are not necessarily essential to the invention.

[0028]FIG. 1 is a view exemplary showing a use environment of an album creating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The album creating apparatus 100 and a photo stand 110 are examples of an image extracting apparatus according to the present invention. The album creating apparatus 100 receives a plurality of candidate images via a network 180. In addition, a candidate image may be a still image or a moving-image constituting image included in a moving image. Moreover, a moving-image constituting image may be either of various types of images constituting a frame image, a field image, and other moving images. Then, the album creating apparatus 100 extracts a ca...

Abstract

An album creating apparatus according to the present invention includes an object extracting section that extracts an object from a moving image, an object acceleration computing section that computes acceleration of the object extracted from the object extracting section to a background based on a change of position in a plurality of continuous moving-image constituting images, a timing specifying section that specifies a timing in which the acceleration computed from the object acceleration computing section is larger than a predetermined reference acceleration, and a representative image extracting section that extracts a moving-image constituting image included in a predetermined time range centered on the timing specified by the timing specifying section as a representative image.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] The present application claims priority from Japanese Patent Applications: [0002] No. 2005-059429 filed on Mar. 3, 2005, and [0003] NO. 2006-047320 filed on Feb. 23, 2006, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] 1. Field of the Invention [0005] The present invention relates to an image extracting apparatus, an image extracting method, and an image extracting program. More particularly, the present invention relates to an image extracting apparatus, an image extracting method, and an image extracting program for extracting a moving-image constituting image to be output as a still image from moving images including a plurality of moving-image constituting images. [0006] 2. Related Art [0007] Conventionally, a state of a captured moving-image constituting image is estimated from button grabbing by a user such as setting of an angle of view or a zoom for a video camera. Further, a metho...
